Fuzz fetishists, here is your next objet d’amour. Dum Dum Girls, whose blissed-out garage pop will get shelved with your Raveonettes, Jesus and Mary Chain, Ronettes, Flatmates, Vivian Girls and maybe Talulah Gosh, have been signed to Sub Pop, which will release their debut in early 2010. Who are Dum Dum Girls? Various lovingly penned missives on the Internet have made them out to be something of a mystery – from L.A., and the one-person project of a woman named Dee Dee. She and her band played the Woodsist/CT Festival in Brooklyn early this month [see Brooklyn Vegan’s coverage here], and RCRDLBL.com has some music, but beyond that …? Turns out the mysterious Dee Dee is Kristin Gundred of Grand Ole Party, and the wife of Brandon Welchez from the San Diego band Crocodiles.
